What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Marching tenor head
Built for high tension and outdoor projection, not the lower tunings a drum kit tom runs at.
Detail 03
Black finish
Cosmetic. Changes the look of the drum from the audience side without altering how it is played.
Detail 04
Single head, not a set
A tenor set needs one head per drum. Replacing the whole arc means buying each size separately.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Confirm the drum size stamped on the hoop before ordering.
- 02One head only. No hoop, lugs, or tension rods included.
- 03Budget time to seat and tension a fresh head before a performance.
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Does this fit a 13-inch rack tom?
The diameter matches, but it is built for marching tenor tension. On a kit tom it will tune tighter and brighter than a standard tom head.
02Do I need to buy one for each tenor drum?
Yes. This is a single 13-inch head. Each drum in the tenor arc takes its own head in its own diameter.
03Is the black finish just cosmetic?
It changes the look of the drum. Buy it if you want the black appearance across your tenors.
04What tools do I need to install it?
A drum key to back off the tension rods, pull the old head, and tension the new one evenly around the hoop.
